註釋The General Strike of 1926 was the most important industrial dispute in British history. Almost 1,750,000 came out in support of about a million miners who had been locked out for rejecting reductions in pay and conditions. For nine days, from 3-12 May, Britain ground almost to a halt. A few trains and buses ran, but only when driven by volunteers from the anti-strike middle and upper classes. Food supplies needed, in many cases, to be protected by armed police and military units.
